MOCA Simulation Course

The University of Miami – Jackson Memorial Hospital Center for Patient Safety is an endorsed simulation center by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and a member of their Simulation Education Network. The one-day course fulfills Part IV requirement of the ABA MOCA Program. Course participants will actively manage realistic simulation scenarios that demonstrate their clinical and technical skills as well as teamwork and communication. The participant to instructor ratio will not exceed 4 to 1 in order to provide a quality learning environment. After a customized orientation, the participants will have an opportunity to manage critical perioperative events in a simulated clinical environment and will play the primary role in at least one scenario. Each scenario will be followed by a video-aided debriefing that will include review of the relevant clinical and technical actions as well as the examples of team dynamics and communication skills. All recordings are for the benefit of the participants and will not be released from the Center.
